The All Black selectors have made seven changes to their starting line-up to take on Argentina in New Plymouth on Saturday.
Winger Nehe Milner Skudder will play his first game for the All Blacks since the 2015 World Cup final.

Milner-Skudder, who was World Rugby's Breakthrough Player of the Year in 2015, missed virtually all of the 2016 season after having shoulder surgery. He then broke his foot on his return this year and has barely played.
Fellow wing Israel Dagg, centre Anton Lienert-Brown, halfback TJ Perenara, loosies Ardie Savea and Vaea Fifita and lock Luke Romano also get starts.
Fifita gets his first start in his second Test, named at blindside flanker, while lock Luke Romano replaces Sam Whitelock in what will be his first start of the year.
Ardie Savea starts at openside flanker with Sam Cane moving to the bench.
In the backs, TJ Perenara starts at halfback, while Tawera Kerr-Barlow makes his first appearance of 2017 on the bench with Aaron Smith getting a break.

Anton Lienert-Brown replaces Ryan Crotty at centre with Ngani Laumape the centre cover on the bench.
Israel Dagg starts on the right wing, replacing Ben Smith who is on a sabbatical.
All Blacks Head Coach Steve Hansen said: "This Test match is all about us taking opportunities. It's an opportunity for our players to grow individually and collectively as a team, not only in our preparation throughout the week, but in our performance on Saturday.
"We've taken some key learnings from our first two Tests against Australia and now it's an opportunity to take those learnings into a Test match against an old foe who we know pretty well now. Argentina are a dynamic, physical team who are growing their style of game. They are a proud people as well, so they'll be desperate (after their losses against South Africa) so we'll have to be ready for that challenge.
"We've had a great build up here in New Plymouth, it's a real rugby city and the people have made us feel really welcome, so we're all looking forward to Saturday."
